    Hi,

    I am trying to do "semi-clean" install on my new FW290. Can anyone who has the experience with clean install advise me what "bloatwares" that I should install after the clean install? (For example, SmartWi Connection utility, Roxio Easy Media creator, other Sony Vaio utilities?) I couldn't find some of the softwares at Sony support website. May I know how I can install the programs? (using Recovery DVDs that I have?) Particularly, I need a DVD burning program. Any suggestions?

    Thanks.

    Yee Kan
